§2 Description:<br> | |||
A Lord or Lady of the Hapes Consortium is in the highest tier of the Hapan nobility, known as the Tarii. While their status within the Consortium is high and prestigious, they are civilians with no direct authority over the daily workings of the Hapan Government, Royal Hapan Armed Forces or any other affiliates of the Consortium, unless they hold a position in any such branch or department. | |||
§3 Primary Responsibility & Authority:<br> | |||
Planetary Oversight - As a Lord/Lady of the Hapes Consortium, the noble is entitled to a planetary star system which they may govern on behalf of the Sovereign. A noble is entitled to veto the application of any parties, such as National Corporations, that might express interest in establishing a presence in the system which the noble governs. This veto may only be overruled by the Sovereign. Furthermore, any development within the system of any kind, other than that done by the noble for personal purposes, must be approved by the Lord.<br> | |||
Reports - A Lord/Lady shall be obligated to make weekly reports to the Council of Lords on the activites they are directly responsible for within their system, meaning such private industrial activity as ship production, or the construction of new cities on the surface of worlds.<br> | |||
Dialogue - A Lord/Lady shall maintain dialogue with any parties present in the system such as local military commanders, leaders of national corporations and so on. Additionally, the noble shall maintain dialogue with the Archon governing the region which their system is located within.<br> | |||
§4 Secondary Responsibility:<br> | |||
System Development - All planetary bodies, as well as space, within the system shall be considered the dominion of the noble and their noble house and will be free for the noble to develop with they see fit, be it income cities, shipyards and so on. It should, however, be noted that space immediately above planets should be reserved for defence stations (Golan II) maintained by the Hapes Consortium. | |||
